    Did some more tidying up today I think the seats in the back look better without the headrest, but you can see better also. I love the new R56 red mats too!

    Finally got the front struts and springs replaced on my 2002 Cooper.

    It was much harder and took much longer than expected mostly due to a large broken pinch bolt that I needed to drill out (compounded by a broken drill bit tip and broken ez-out bit that also got stuck in there)

    Car drives much better on 23 year newer suspension

    I would have hated to try and drill that out! Glad you got it done!

    Yesterday I changed the rear bearings on the helmet. That was the easiest job I have done. I am not sure it really needed it but I want it perfect for who ever buys it.

    It’s good to have them but I hope you don’t need ‘em.

    I don't need them. It might rain Tuesday. The Sunday after that I have a car show if it doesn't rain.

    TPMS sensors have let me know
    multiple times that I have a nail
    in a tire, and that the pressure has
    gone down to about 30 psi.
    At that point, I can plug the tire
    myself and continue on.
    Without the sensor, you end up
    driving on a flat or nearly flat tire
    before you realize the problem,
    and at that point, you need a
    new tire rather than a simple repair.

    Some much needed maintenance performed with new Koni struts and shocks, Cortico upper engine mount, passenger axle and ATI engine damper. The most notable improvement in a short drive were the shocks and struts as they were toast and the ATI damper.

    Today was a 300 mile drive with the Milwaukee MINIs club and Chicago MINI Motoring club. The morning drizzle cleared as I crossed the Wisconsin border and the day ended sunny and warm. 16 MINIs took off on some twisty back roads in the Kettle Moraine area with a stop at a confectionery store, a cheese shop and a pumpkin patch.
